The printing on each sensor label gives the following information (e.g.):
234/244 Series Conductivity
→ Type designation (244 Series Shown)
Cell M: 0.2500
→ Calibrated cell constant
Temp. M: 1.0003
→ Calibrated temperature constant
Serial No.: 200017
→ Traceable serial number
Order No.: 244-631
→ Order number
Sensor Maintenance
Note: Contaminated sensors can give inaccurate high or low readings, depending upon
the type and location of contaminant accumulation. Both the electrodes and the
insulating surfaces must be cleaned to ensure accurate readings.
If contamination is suspected, removed the cell from its fitting and clean the electrodes and
insulator. When cleaning, use a cotton swab saturated with a mild detergent or a very
diluted (0.5% or less) inorganic acid, i.e. HCl (Hydrochloric Acid), H
2
SO
4
(Sulfuric Acid),
HNO
3
(Nitric Acid). If cleaning with acid use standard acid handling safety procedures.
Rinse thoroughly with distilled or deoinized water before installation. Avoid touching the
cleaned surfaces because oil from your hands will recontaminate the sensor.
(244 Series Sensor Shown.)
DO NOT USE ABRASIVE MATERIALS such as steel wool or nylon scrubbers, these
may harm the electrode surface and could affect the accuracy.
